Ivy City Races.

There is talk now Of keeping up the ra-
c..s next week, if the weather holds good
Many of the stables are willing to rman
with the prospect of picking up few purses
before going Into winter q lartels, and the en-
ira meeting may be continued. 1t depends up
on the weather. The attendance Wednesday
was the largest OF the meeting, and the large
turnout WAS attributed to the pleasant wealth
er. That had the effect of encouraging the
idea ofke..iag mp the meeting. Some of the
managers believe that a paying business
can be done as long as pleasant weather lasts.
1t is remarked by many of tn, visitors from
other cities that Washington is certainly great
place for racing, in spite of the rain and
cold, thousands have turned out daily.

after Boston was evacuated, DIR. Thatcher's
military journal says: II accompanied
several gentlemen to view the British fortif-
cations on Roxbury Neck. where | observed
prodigious number of little military engines,
called cat traps or crow feet, scattered over
the ground in the vicinity Of the works to I'M
pede the march of our troops in case of an at
tack. The implement consists of an iron ball
armed with four sharp points nhont one inch
in length, so formed that, which way soever
it may fall, one point still lies upward to
pierce the feet of horses or men, anil is ad-
mirably well calculated to obstruct the march

Around the Globe.

The distance around the earth at the equa-
tor is about $4,000 miles. Travelling around
the globe on the equator would be to traverse
a greater distance than near the Pole, though
the latter would be more difficult than the
former. The usual route is 29,1i2 miles, The
distances would be from New York to San
Francisco, $3.50 miles; San Francisco to Yo-
kohamn, 4,7G4 miles; Yokohama to Hong

Advice from Various Sources About What

Advice from Various Sources About What
to Eat and What to Drink.
A French journal warns the drinkers OF
mineral waters that the limestone held in de-
posit in the carbonateti beverage finds its way
10 the kidneys, and eventually produces
Brght's disease. The writer also protests
against ice water as a provocative of catarrh
in the stomach. He says: Water should he
drank cool, but not iced. Water should
always be swallowed slowly. 1t is not the
stomach which is dry, but the mouth and
throat. II you toss Off drink of water you
throw it through your mouth into your
stomach, without doing the former any good,
while you injure the latter by loa,inS it
with what it does not require.
Sanitary Era, commenting on tue above,
says that there are grains of truth and sense
in this advice, but the proverbal grain OF
salt needs to lie ::-ldel S""'ati'naS

4 Pretty Rug.

A gay, pretty rug, in imitation of the
Turkish, may he made with bright pieces of
wool carpet. Old salt bags, nicely cleaned,
make very good foundation on which to
sew the strips Of carpet. A nice size for a
rug to spread before lounge is a yard and a
half long by three-fourths wide. For a
smaller one good proportion is one yard
long by one-haf wide Cut the pieces of car
pet on the bins two inches wide and as long
as the pieces of carpet will allow. Fringe
each edge of the strips one-half inch. Put
two of these strips together, one on top Of the
other, and sew them lengthwise of the founda-
ton. Make other strips like this and sew
them so closely together on the canvas that il
will he entirely covered, and the flinged ends
form thick mat.

washineton's Inauguration.

The first Inauguration of president of the
United States did not occur on the 4th of
March. Washington's first Inauguration and
the meeting of congress were set for March
ith, 1850, but bare quorum Of the house of
representatives did not assemble till the lst
of April, nor of the senate till the 9th, and it
was not till the 3Oth that the president was
inaugurated.
This iilatory meeting of congress has been
referred to as proof of the stagnation of in
terest in the new constitution, which was not
popular and might probably not have been
ratified had it not received Washington's
support

Aerolites have from time to time fallen
on the earth for centuries. They are of every
variety of size up to IA, i,030pounds, the weight
Of the largest known, one in Brazil. A con-
slant characteristic of these stones is u fused
black crust which coats the surface. From
its being very thin and the line which sepa-
rates it from the inner mass well defined, it
is considered to be caused by some rapid
action Of heat suddenly terminated, the heat
probably resulting from friction with the at
mosphere. Their yelocities vary from eigh-
teen to thirty-six miles per second, that Of
the earth being sixteen miles per second.
1t has been noticed that certain meteoric
appearances are periodic, and that they are
seen in showers. Such showers have appeared

1t has been supposed that nieieors were
thrown from volcanoes on the earth beyond
the earth's attraction. and after wandering
returned also that they came from volca.

in favor is that they belong to variety Of

Abraham's Bosom.

The expression in Scripture, wherein Laz-
arus is spoken of as being sin Abrahams
bosom" originated in custom among the
Jews and almost universal in the east. 1t
was the habit of those days to recline at table
rather than sit upright, as is the universal
custom to-day. In reclining at the board the
second persons head would be near the bosom
of the first one, who might be the host or
some distinguished man. To he in that posi-
tion to his bosom was the preferred friend or
guest. Thus the term sin ones bosom" be-
came synonym among the Jews for felicity.
While Dives was in torment Lazarus was in
Ahrahams bosom.

sense and Sex.

A recent writer makes the statement that
the senses are not parallel in men and women.
The latter possess to greater perfection the
sense of touch The senses of hearing and
sight are relatively the same in both sexes,
but it is considered that men have the sense
more delicately developed than women. The
sense of smell was, in the experiment, made
doubly as acute in men as in women. No
reason is assigned for the distinction.

Lnfayette,s Grant.

There have been numerous inquiries Of late
as to whether Lafayette accepted township
of land rendered him by the United States
government and if he did accept it, where is
the land located These inquiries have
brought out statement of one who was a
deputy surveyor in Florida, who says that
after completing the survey in 1925 he re-
turned to Tallahassee, where he met Col Nc
Kee, who had been sent there as the agent Of
Gen. Lafayette, then on a visit to the United
States. Col. Mckee was commissioned to
select the proffered township, and he chose
one adjoining and northwest from Tallahas-
see. 1t is presumed that the land has long
since been sold off
